sociable cycle ride Sat July 13th and call for help July 14th


Recommended Posts

First things first. The ride starts at 10am from outside Canada Water Station and is 2hrs of easy paced cycling taking a look at Blackheath and ending in the same place, Deal Porter Square SE16 7AR


Canada Water is accessible from East Dulwich without lifting your bike. Flat access to the train in East Dulwich, transfer across the platform to the Overground at Peckham Rye and a lift which takes three bikes at a time in Canada Water. Or it's an easy cycle ride.


The plan is to do a ride to Greenwich via the Thames Path. Then into Greenwich Park and up the hill to the viewpoint next to General Wolfe. Follow this with a circuit of Blackheath and finally back to Canada Water, probably mostly on Quietway (Cycleway) 1.


The help is needed the following day with the unloading of bikes from the Dunwich Dynamo Ride. Southwark Cyclists provide return transport for 1000 cyclists and their bikes. Bruce who organises the rides is organising the unloading at this end between 11.30 and 3.30. You don't need to be strong you are needed to organise people and you don't need to stay for the whole four hours. Even one hour will be gratefully received. The unloading will be in Bolina Rd, next to Quietway 1 and the Millwall Ground. You can just turn up, but better to let Bruce know you are coming. To do this call 07729 279 945. More info available on the same number


All this stuff (ride and unload) is run by Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. It's all free (and in the case of the unload, unpaid). Everything we do is free and open to all wherever they live. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. You can contact us by emailing [email protected] (slow method) tweet @southwarkcycle or text 07842 640 207

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
    • We had one that projected stars and played lullabies. It was a soft toy bee with a hard plastic back. I know we used it but can’t recall how effective it was.  What was brilliant was the Lulla sleep doll which has a heart beat sound. That was a critical sleep aid for the first couple of years.
